Hello! It's been a while. I'm now curious as to whether I should split up my current article on functional harmony into different parts, and what other elements I need to cover in terms of the functions of notes versus the functions of chords and stuff such as that. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:01, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

: Well, it is long enough that it probably merits splitting into different parts, although off the top of my head, I am not sure of the best way to organize them.

: For additions, it has been a while since I did a full read-through, so I may have missed something, but in a brief scan to refresh memory, I think of how it seems a bit diatonic-focused (understandably, since so much music is diatonic), so could use more coverage of other scales — the mention of the work of Ivan Wyschnegradsky is a start in that direction. The 24edo works of Ivan Wyschnegradsky are where my earlier questions about temperaments supporting [[11L 2s]] came from, since he explicitly wrote about that. I have also been going down a real rabbit hole trying to figure out what he did with 36edo (is it [[17L 2s]]?), and it has been such a rabbit hole with my guess of 17L 2s that may or may not be right) that I think I ought to call the associated temperament rank-2 clan/family Wonderland (and maybe Kaninchenbau for the related rank-3 clan/family) if I ever get it organized into a decent description of a temperament clan/family (right now, of course, its all fused together with the rest of the stuff in my [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio/Musical Mad Science|Musical Mad Science]] page as one awful unfinished mess that looks like the aftermath of a transporter accident, and it's not the only one of my pages needing reorganization, either).

: And that brings me to a discovery that at first seems like a tangent to your question, but might actually be relevant: I figured out that unlike 11L 2s, 17L 2s has a standard diatonic scale embedded in it, with the whole tones of the diatonic (5L 2s) scale being divided into third-tones, and the diatonic semitone being divided into a third-tone plus a sub-diatonic sixth-tone (alternatively, if you don't divide the diatonic semitone, then you get the parent scale [[2L 15s]] in the range equalized to basic). So that would give you an easy way to transition from diatonic-oriented scale degrees and regions to something beyond.

: Also, since we last corresponded, Levi McClain came out with a video about ancient Greek scales that you might want to see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfduDXnwN_0 ''The Nearly Lost Ancient Scale of Archytas''] (2025).
